Chapter 368: Why did the Huashan Sect flourish and decline?
"Brother Feng, the three of you have nothing to do with the Huashan Sect for a long time, so what are you doing here at Huashan?"
"Back then, your master used conspiracy and tricks to occupy the Huashan sect. This old score must be settled today."
"You want to settle accounts? What accounts to settle? How to calculate them?"
"You have usurped the position of leader of the Huashan Sect for more than 20 years, and you still haven't done enough? Should you give up your position?"
At this time, in the courtyard, a group of people were standing across from each other, and the atmosphere was tense. On the other side of the eaves, Feng Qingyang was hiding here with Linghu Chong.
Feng Qingyang saw this group of people when they just went up the mountain. The three brothers Feng Buping were his disciples. Of course he recognized them. At this moment, the three of them came up the mountain with the other members of the Wuyue Sword Sect. The goal was obvious. , must be to avenge the sword fight back then, but I don’t know exactly which step to take.
But Feng Qingyang had his own plans. No matter what, outsiders were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Huashan Sect. Otherwise, where would the majesty of the Huashan Sect be and where would their face be?
It is inevitable that we will do it today. If there is a chance, it is not impossible to recommend Linghu Chong to take over in advance.
Therefore, he hurried back to the back mountain and took Linghu Chong to the courtyard in front of the main hall to pay close attention to the development of the situation.
"You all came to Huashan in a big way, but you originally wanted to seize the position of the leader. However, that only requires this brother Feng to be the leader."
"Back then, your master used conspiracy and tricks to usurp the position of leader of our sect. Now I have informed the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, Zuo Alliance, and received the flag order to take charge of the Huashan sect."
Ning Zhong, on the other hand, did not have Yue Buqun's Qi-nurturing skills. His face darkened and he yelled angrily: "The Zuo League's leadership is too lenient. We don't need him to meddle in the affairs of our Huashan sect. What qualifications does he have?" Depose the leader of the Huashan Sect?"
Lehou, the fourth Taibao, smiled coldly at this time and said: "Originally, the internal affairs of your Huashan Mountain have little to do with our Five Mountains Sword Sect, but your Yue Buqun colluded with the court eagles and assassinated the three major Taibao of our Songshan Sect. How can you repay such behavior? I can be the leader of the Huashan Sect!"
"You are so mean-spirited, Lehou, do you think my Huashan sect is as easy to bully as the Hengshan sect? You have no evidence to frame someone like me, Yue!"
The witness who followed from the Hengshan Sect seemed not to have heard anything, and his expression did not change. He was not from Liu Zhengfeng's group, but an undercover agent arranged by Songshan in the early years. Naturally, the interests of the Songshan Sect were the top priority in everything.
"Hmph, Yue Buqun, do you think you can cover up your crimes by killing the leader of the Qingcheng faction, Yu Canghai, who knew about your conspiracy? But you didn't know that your fellow martial arts colleagues had discovered you when you and Wang Xuan returned all the way. , You have the reputation of being a gentleman's sword in vain, but you are a hypocrite. Now that Senior Brother Feng has found our Songshan Sect and exposed your master's conspiracy to usurp the throne, I, Songshan, as the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, will naturally not stand idly by."
"There's no need to blame anyone. Today I'm going to do something to see if your Songshan sect is capable enough to take down me, the leader of Huashan!"
In fact, Yue Buqun had already anticipated the consequences of dating Wang Xuan, but he was not afraid of being a member of the Songshan sect. Although his martial arts was slightly weaker than Zuo Lengchan, it was still similar. Unless Zuo Lengchan risked There is a risk of serious injury, otherwise it would be almost impossible to kill him.
As for the other people in Songshan, he didn't take it to heart at all. Even if it was a siege, he would not do anything to him even if he didn't give up the lives of three or five eunuchs. After losing three eunuchs, Songshan could no longer afford such a high price.
However, he never expected that the three Feng Buping people would appear. With these three people acting as cannon fodder, things would become difficult.
The two parties were confronting each other, and just when they were about to take action, Feng Qingyang jumped out from the roof, "When will it be your Songshan sect's turn to intervene in the affairs of my Huashan sect? If you overestimate your capabilities, you are seeking death!"
Feng Qingyang has great swordsmanship. Looking at the whole world, there are only a handful of people who are stronger than him. His aura is as sharp as an unsheathed sword. A glance at him will send chills all over the body.
How could Lehou, a few second-rate players, be able to withstand Feng Qingyang's pressure? His heart suddenly sank, and he couldn't even speak.
Uncle Feng Qingyang?
Feng Buping and the other three were also horrified. Some of them widened their eyes, while others blinked. They rubbed their eyes vigorously. Only then were they sure that it was indeed Uncle Feng Qingyang. The three of them immediately prostrated themselves!
"Uncle Master! It's really Uncle Feng!"
"Uncle Master, where have you been all these years? Our Sword Sect was unjustly defeated!"
Of all the people present, only Yue Buqun and the others who had the word "bu" in their names knew Feng Qingyang, but the younger generation and everyone in Songshan didn't know it. But even if they didn't know it, just a junior uncle could know that this was the senior of the previous generation.
Master, when he felt that power, everyone in the Songshan Sect stood stunned on the spot.
No matter what plans you have, they will all disappear in the face of absolute force!
Feng Qingyang waved his hand to Feng Buping and the others to stand up, and then continued to look at Lehou and his group. Lehou suddenly felt as if his whole body was being pressed down by a mountain, and it was difficult to move. He immediately bowed with a sad face: "
I don’t dare. With senior here, we will naturally listen to his orders, and I believe that senior will definitely uphold justice for our Songshan sect!”
At this time, Yue Buqun's mind was in chaos. He knew that Feng Qingyang was still alive, but he didn't expect that all the problems would burst out together. This time he really had a headache.
As soon as Feng Qingyang took action, his momentum alone overwhelmed the entire audience. Of course, when he set his sights on Yue Buqun, Yue Buqun had to bow and bow, "I've seen Uncle Feng!"
Although everyone from the Sword Sect has been removed from the roster, but... Judging from the situation, it is useless to talk about it. It is obvious that everyone, including Feng Qingyang, who has lived in seclusion in Huashan for twenty-five years, has the goal this time.
It's all myself.
"Master, let me ask you, are you closely related to that man named Wang Xuan?"
"..." Yue Buqun frowned, and a series of ideas ran through his mind. In the end, he gave up on them all and just said in a deep voice: "Yes!"
…
It took two months to go up to Kunlun Mountain, but the descent was much faster. They made it down the mountain in seven or eight days.
At the foot of the mountain, the people who had followed Wang Xuan had set up strongholds along the road. First, they could contact Wang Xuan, and second, they could also pass on messages.
After washing up and having a good meal, Wang Xuan took the information sent during this period and read through it. There was no problem in Fujian. Everything has been stable in the past few months. How many ships have been launched, factory output has increased, etc.
The news was all normal, but news came from Huashan. The first one was that Linghu Chong teamed up with the Lingnan Seven Fierce Tribulations to kill the county magistrate. The second one was the news that had just been sent that Yue Buqun had resigned as the head of Huashan Mountain.
The sect leader was succeeded by his eldest disciple Linghu Chong.
The information was relatively rudimentary, and the specific reasons were unclear. However, Yue Buqun, his wife, daughter, and Zhao Zhengyang were waiting for him at the stronghold he had set up in Shaanxi.
Throwing down the letter, Wang Xuan shook his head in amusement. This time Yue Buqun got his wish. The disciple he trained finally took over his position. I just don't know how he feels at the moment...
However, all this is very beneficial to him. The reason why he made great efforts to win over Yue Buqun is because he likes him. In the entire martial arts world, there are not many people that Wang Xuan can look up to, but they are suitable for him to use.
There are even fewer people, and Yue Buqun is one of them.
His biggest flaw is that he is determined to strengthen the Huashan Sect. As long as he grasps this, Yue Buqun will not be able to escape his grasp.
In the next few days, Wang Xuan and Tian Boguang rushed back all the way. Fortunately, they had established strongholds along the way, so they didn't need to worry about other problems. They arrived all the way from Qinghai to Shaanxi in just ten days.
Three days later, in a house in Fengxiang Mansion City, the tired Wang Xuan saw Yue Buqun, who had gray hair on his temples. It was obvious that Yue Buqun's mental state had been very bad recently!
Thinking about it, it is understandable that the Huashan Qi Sect lineage suddenly died when it was introduced to him. Although it was his eldest disciple who took over, Linghu Chong had already fallen into the arms of Jian Zong at this time, not to mention the philosophy of Qi Sect.
It's almost like being left behind.
After all, Feng Qingyang's guidance in just one month made him improve his skills greatly, from the third-rate to the top of the second-rate. After a little settling, it would not take half a year to catch up with Yue Buqun, which was a certainty for the child.
How can Linghu Chong still stick to the path of Qi Zong?
"Brother-in-law, you're fine!"
Yue Buqun sighed and cupped his hands, "I met Mr. Wuzhou. Yue was so depressed that he had no choice but to seek refuge with Mr. Wuzhou."
Wang Xuan waved his hand and didn't take this little thing to heart at all, "Brother Yue, what are you talking about? Let's go in and talk. I know a little bit about your affairs. Don't take it to heart about small problems. In my opinion,
This is only good for brother-in-law and has no harm!"
Yue Buqun glanced at Wang Xuan curiously. When he was driven down the mountain that day, Zhao Zhengyang followed him directly. His first words were, "Master, don't be anxious. You only need to tell my master about this matter. I believe it can be easily solved."
"
At that time, Yue Buqun was in despair and had no choice but to follow Zhao Zhengyang here.
After entering the house, Yue Buqun introduced his wife Ning Zhongze to Wang Xuan. People in the world are not too particular. After the guests and hosts were seated, Yue Buqun began to tell the specific story of what happened.
On that day, Yue Buqun admitted that he had a close relationship with Wang Xuan. Feng Qingyang asked him directly why he had lowered his status and colluded with the imperial court. Yue Buqun was speechless after just one sentence!
How do you say that? Could it be that in order to develop and expand the Huashan Sect, you sold your family fortune?
It’s incredible how well this was done!
Let me ask you again, why didn’t you act righteously when the hawks and dogs of the imperial court were killing our righteous people? Not saving them at the sight of death is against the rules of chivalry in martial arts!
How to save?
Do you think everyone has your skills?
Besides, why should we save him? It would be best if he didn’t add insult to injury!
Neither question could be answered, especially in public. Immediately afterwards, Feng Qingyang dismissed Yue Buqun as the head of the sect in the name of the sect's elder teacher.
There were nearly a hundred people in the venue, and except for a few Yue Buqun's disciples who objected, no one made a sound.
The new disciples had no room to speak. The three men from Jianzong and the people sent by Songshan were trying to compete for the position of leader. A few voices could not make any waves. In isolation and without help, Yue Buqun was no match for Feng Qingyang in terms of force.
He was directly forced to step down from the position of leader.
As for his successor, Feng Qingyang directly called Linghu Chong to come down.
At this time, Linghu Chong was also confused. The situation changed so fast that his brain could not react at all.
The arrangement for Feng Qingyang's new leader was also beyond everyone's expectations. Everyone thought he would choose Feng Buping from the Sword Sect, but he chose Linghu Chong. It must be said that his smooth and free-wheeling swordsmanship is perfect.
Reason has been engraved in his bones!
But at the same time, this arrangement also suppressed the dissatisfaction on the airbender side.
"What? What's your problem?" Feng Qingyang glanced at the audience, Feng Buping said bravely: "Uncle Feng, of course we don't dare to have any objections, but Master Nephew Linghu is capable of carrying the Huashan Sword Sect.
Flag?”
"Hmph, you will know it by comparing swords, and you will see the real mark under your hands!"
Seeing that Feng Qingyang was so confident, Feng Buping naturally didn't dare to be careless and used his 108 gust of wind sword with all his strength. However, Linghu Chong was worthy of being a swordsman genius. He had really made great progress after studying under Feng Qingyang for a month.
, Yue Buqun was dumbfounded when he saw the Huashan swordsmanship in his hand.
It is indeed Huashan swordsmanship, but... it is different from what I taught him. When he taught him, every move was strict and precise, but now Linghu Chong's swordsmanship is erratic and abnormal, which is completely contrary to his teachings. Apart from the similarity,
It had nothing to do with it, but the most important thing was that it was incredibly powerful. Even he would definitely not be Linghu Chong's opponent in a single round of swordsmanship.
This made him feel shaken in his heart.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Linghu Chong won easily and immediately calmed everyone present. However, as the leader of the sect, Yue Buqun made mistakes in teaching apprentices, which delayed the development of the sect. His own abilities were insufficient, and
He Yanmian occupies the position of leader.
Although Linghu Chong tried to persuade him to stay in the end, Yue Buqun couldn't afford to lose face, so he could only watch his junior sister follow Yue Buqun down the mountain.
This is what happened. After hearing this, Wang Xuan shook his head and smiled, "Narrow-sighted, elephants never care what ants think, and ants always regard elephants as their enemies."
Since ancient times, Confucianism has used literature to disrupt the law, and chivalrous people have used martial arts to violate prohibitions. The relationship between the imperial court and the martial arts people has always been extremely tense. To be precise, the martial arts people have always been hostile to the imperial court, but the imperial court did not take them seriously.
Basically no one would object to dismissing Yue Buqun as an excuse.
However, Shaomusi Temple has always accepted the canonization by the imperial court, and Wudang has eunuchs from the government and the palace. This point has been deliberately ignored by everyone. No sect compares itself with these two martial arts masters, so naturally it will not.
Pay attention to those details.
"Well, there is nothing to be sad about. In my opinion, the reason why Huashan declined was not because of the sword fight. At that time, even if Shaomusu Temple didn't count on you, Huashan would have collapsed sooner or later. You yourself have not found the root of the problem.
"
Wang Xuan comforted Yue Buqun, but his words of comfort didn't sound very pleasant, especially to Ning Zhongze's ears. Was it Shaomusi who plotted against them in the sword fight?
"Husband, this sword fight...?" Ning Zhong turned to look at Yue Buqun with a look of disbelief. In her heart, how could Shaomusi, a martial arts master, a leader of chivalry, and a representative of righteous people, do this?
Kind of thing!
Yue Buqun nodded and didn't explain much, but even so, he defeated Ning Zhongze's three views.
Looking at Ning Zhongze's appearance, Wang Xuan shook his head and said: "Brother Yue, you are not doing this right. You protect them too much. How can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain? There is something wrong with being a leader and a teacher.
ah."
Yue Buqun stood up solemnly and gave a respectful salute, "Please give me some advice, Mr. Wuzhou! I've been really confused lately. What went wrong? Why did I, Huashan, suddenly end up in this situation? Is it because of the Qi Sect?"
Are you on the wrong path? Why can Linghu Chong make such great progress in one month? Can Uncle Feng and the others really make Huashan prosperous?"
In the past ten days, Yue Buqun could be said to have been living in torment. He spent twenty years focusing on Huashan Mountain, and ended up like this. This matter cannot be forgiven by anyone. It has been more than ten days,
Yue Buqun was not depressed or crazy, he was already calm enough. When Wang Xuan said this, it was only natural for him to be a little excited.
Wang Xuan nodded and said solemnly: "First of all, there is something wrong with what you do as a master. You don't know people well. Linghu Chong is talented in martial arts, but his personality is too out of touch with himself. He can't take care of himself. How can he take care of himself?
A sect?"
"The leader of a faction should never be the one with the highest martial arts skills, but the one who understands the most. The person who can lead a group of people may not necessarily go to the next level, but at least he must be able to maintain it. This is something even Linghu Chong cannot do.
arrive."
"Besides, you are the leader. The leader is the leader of a faction, but he should not do everything himself. On a smaller scale, in a county, the county magistrate is the biggest, but can everything be handed over to the county magistrate? This is obviously not possible.
, it’s not about whether you can do it, but a matter of overcoming others. You have done everything, how can you let the people below you live? It’s the same if you switch to a sect, you have done everything, how can you let the disciples below you get training?
How to select talents and inherit your position in the future?"
Whether it was the case of Linghu Chong or the case of the county magistrate, Wang Xuan made it clear. When Yue Buqun thought about what he had done for twenty years, he suddenly realized that indeed, he had done too much, so he was wrong!
Yue Buqun smiled miserably, "Thank you, Mr. Wuzhou, for your advice. I understand that if you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening. In this way, I can rest in peace even if I die!"
"Hahaha, it's too early to say this now. Remember, I said that abdicating the throne will only do you good and no harm!"
Yue Buqun blinked and then remembered that Wang Xuan did say it, but he didn't take it seriously, thinking that Wang Xuan was comforting him. Now it seems that this is not the case!
"Excuse me for being stupid."
"Let me ask you a question first, why did the Huashan Sect flourish and then decline?"
Of course it was because of the sword energy battle, Shan Yue Buqun was very sure before, but since Wang Xuan asked this question, it means that the matter is not that simple, but he couldn't figure out why for a while, and after thinking for a moment, he answered uncertainly
Said: "Is it because it threatens the status of Shaomusi Temple?"
